Former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness believes that the Bundesliga champions would have David Alaba tied down to a long-term contract by now had it not been for the influence of his “greedy piranha” of an agent.
The Austria international defender has been at the club since joining the academy in 2008 but was quickly promoted into the first team, making his debut while still a teenager only two years later.
Now 28 and a two-time Champions League winner, he has accumulated 386 appearances for Bayern and stands just one short of a milestone 250th game in the Bundesliga.
